Privilege management is often at the very core of IT security for most companies and also a major stress point for most IT directors and CIOs. It doesn’t come easy, and if it’s not carried out right…or carefully…major security breaches or unintentional security incidences can result.
Indeed, careful control of administrator rights as well is at the very foundation of IT security and when users have widespread administrator rights, this opens the network to a variety of security risks. This can be easily mitigated because users do not need to have full administrator rights to accomplish daily tasks, and privileged users should have restricted access to tasks related to their role/responsibilities only. What an IT group needs is an product that can control end user and privileged user rights for applications and systems which require elevated permissions. Viewfinity can do just that. Let’s examine further…
